This morning while I was watching the Today Show, they reported that President Obama is going before Congress to talk to them about ending summer vacations for American school children.  Instead of having 8 weeks off, he feels that one week would suffice.  How do you feel about this?  Is this a good idea or a bad idea?  Why?  Write a letter to President Obama either supporting his efforts or trying to persuade him to leave summer break as is.
